Then a child star, now Dhurandhar’s heroine: Sara Arjun’s cute old video resurfaces

With Dhurandhar emerging as a strong box office success and later reaching an even wider audience after its Netflix release, Sara Arjun has quickly become a familiar face for viewers across the country. But for Tamil and Telugu cinema lovers, the young actor’s journey began much earlier, when she was just a child artiste winning hearts with her innocence. Now, as her latest film trends again online, an old childhood video has resurfaced, reminding fans of where it all started.

Soon after the film began streaming, social media users dug out a 2011 interview of a six-year-old Sara speaking about her Tamil film Deiva Thirumagal , which was released in Telugu as Nanna . The clip, originally shared by Indiaglitz, shows the tiny actor sweetly explaining the story of the emotional drama in her own words. The film featured Vikram as an intellectually challenged father fighting a legal battle to retain custody of his daughter, played by Sara.

What has especially charmed viewers is the way little Sara refers to her co-star as “Vikram appa” , speaking with genuine affection as though he were her real father. She adorably describes how her character looks after him and even acts out the sadness of being separated from her “appa” in the story. Her clarity and confidence at such a young age have left many surprised and impressed.

In the same video, she fondly calls Anushka Shetty “didi,” adding to the wholesome innocence that defines the clip. The childlike sincerity with which she narrates the plot has struck a nostalgic chord with viewers who remember her early performances.

The internet quickly filled with warm reactions. Fans called the video adorable and praised her maturity and storytelling skills. For many, it felt like watching a star grow up right before their eyes.

From child artiste to Dhurandhar’s heroine , Sara Arjun’s journey has come full circle. And if the viral throwback is any indication, audiences are not just celebrating the actor she is today, but also cherishing the little girl who first stole their hearts years ago.
